Evidently a nitrous leak/line malfunction caused it.

damn so what all exactly happened? i assume the block was destroyed, or was it relatively minor in addition to the hood blowing apart? at least he jumped out of there quick- i think i would have shat myself

I was there when it happened. I was enjoying my hot dog lunch when I heard the explosion. I looked up and saw the driver running (I'm sure praying to baby Jesus) away from the car. The good thing is that he was physically fine. I know that I would have messed myself, ran, messed myself, cried, messed myself and then passed out from messing myself. What a mess.

Does insurnance cover this? If it were me, I would have towed it to a country road and into the woods, called a tow truck, and then the insurance company. 
Maybe followed by a criminal defense attorney.
